Answer 2

Yes, even with out human beings, animals and insects in the picture... Earth probably was formed more than 4.5 billion years ago. It has changed in many ways since then. Many of these changes take place slowly and will continue as long as Earth lasts. Huge land areas are raised and moved to create mountains. Earthquakes are associated with these and other general changes on Earth's surface. Hot melted rock called lava flows from volcanoes and then cools and hardens into crystals, forming a layer of rock. Great rivers of ice called glaciers creep down from mountains, carrying rocks and soil with them. When the glaciers melt, they leave the rocks and soil behind them on the lowlands or in the ocean.

Water also changes Earth. Waves along the shores wash away the land gradually and continuously. Rivers eat away mountains piece by piece and carry the mud and sand to the oceans. The movement of water across the ocean floor spreads layers of mud and sand that gradually harden into stone. Rivers also carry soil to lowlands, where it creates rich farmland.

Furthermore, the climate of Earth has changed many times. During various periods in the planet's past, it was much cooler or warmer than it is today.
